For those who think they can handle spice, the 'Toe of Satan' lollipop is the ultimate challenge. Made of a chili extract so hot that it comes with a warning, this spicy candy is not for the faint of heart.
The Toe of Satan lollipop is a fiery product by the Flamethrower Candy Company -- the same company responsible for the popular ghost pepper candies. The Toe of Satan lives up to the company's reputation with an ultra-spicy flavor profile that will make anyone's tongue burn. The candy is made with nine-million-Scoville-unit chili extract and comes with a warning that the product "has potential to cause skin and/or mouth irritation."
While not exactly a great mid-day snack, the lollipop is perfect for those who like to see just how good their spice-tolerance is.
